Help | Silent Hunter 3 Crash on load screen

Hi,

Probably not the answer you want, but I would just pop over to the UbiSoft webpage and download the game there via Uplay.

It's not that expensive anymore, and it works perfectly with windows 10 and the Living Silent Hunter 2020 mod if you are contemplating adding that as well...

Best regards
Ron

Hello,
Thank you for the response however I'm tight on money right now to buy a third version of the game (Disc & steam) and I don't really want to download Uplay as steam is my main game store. However I will keep this mind if I don't figure this out.
Thanks again

Cheers

This is a picture from over in the SH4 side of things here, but you will most likely have to further mess with the "Properties" settings of the SH3.exe file, and "Change high DPI settings", at the least. You might also have to set the "Disable full screen optimizations". I have one computer where I have had to use that "Use this setting to fix scaling problems..." and then set the "Use the DPI that's set..." and put it to "When I load this program", or whatever the "program" choice is. See what happens. A question though: What folder and path do you have the game installed?

Hello,

thanks for the help

Cheers
